Libya's primary agricultural water source remains the Great Manmade River (GMMR), but significant resources are being invested in desalinization research to meet growing demand.
Desalinization accounts for between 10 percent and 25 percent of energy consumption in the GCC: according to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, Saudi Arabia and the UAE spend USD 3 bn every year on desalination.
The government is addressing this problem with the construction of additional desalinization plants.
